Winery Tour

Wineries of Ica

The Ica valley is famous worldwide for agricultural production. One of the most important regional products is Pisco, a local firewater made out of grapes. These pisco distilleries also make wine (usually sweet for the local palate). The wineries are a great place to visit because they are located in the middle of the countryside, where you can experience a different feeling than in the city and the desert. Here there is a lot of greenery, everything takes on a slower pace, and you can experience the Peruvian provincial culture in the raw. The Winery tour lasts approximately 2-3 hours and includes visits to 1 traditional winery that doesn't use machinery to process their pisco and wine, and visit to 1 industrial winery that has more modern practices of production. You will have a guided tour of each winery and will try different sweet wines and pisco. This tour can leave any time between 9am-3pm with a minimum of 2 people.

Price: $20 - $25 / person
